On a défini, en outre, une stratégie d'essorage basée sur le rendement de la pompe d'aspiration (18) de l'unité d'essorage considérée (1a, 1b, 1c, ...) et/ou sur le réglage de la vitesse de rotation du moteur électrique (19) de la pompe d'aspiration. La mise en oeuvre du procédé consiste à sélectionner le taux voulu d'extraction d'eau (V¿as?) pour l'unité d'essorage considérée, puis à mesurer la quantité (V¿m?) d'eau séparée dans l'unité d'essorage considérée. Le rendement de la pompe d'aspiration (18) de l'unité d'essorage (1a, 1b, 1c, ...) et/ou la vitesse de rotation du moteur électrique (19) de la pompe d'aspiration se règle en fonction de la stratégie d'essorage si V¿as? ?

Title: Procede et dispositif de separation et de detection du bruit contenu dans un signal a spectre etale
Inventor: KUROYANAGI NORIYOSHI
IPC: H04B1/707
Filed: 1996-10-16
Abstract: Lorsqu'un signal à spectre étalé et divers types de bruit arrivent à un récepteur de manière mélangée, le rapport SN du signal reçu et démodulé, ainsi que l'efficacité d'utilisation de la bande de fréquence du système SS, sont améliorés par séparation du bruit et par détection discriminatoire des composantes de la fréquence du bruit. D'une manière plus précise, le signal de trame r(t) reçu contenant le bruit est soumis à un étalement de spectre inverse à l'aide de la même séquence m(t) de code d'étalement d'une station voulue. Les composantes de courant continu sont ensuite éliminées de la sortie u(t) à étalement inverse, tandis qu'un produit de sortie de ré-étalement est obtenu en multipliant la sortie u(t) par la séquence m(t) de code à étalement. N composantes Wi de la fréquence d'analyse correspondent à i fois la vitesse de trame qui est elle-même le résultat de l'analyse de transformation TFD du produit de sortie. Les composantes du signal de bruit contenues dans le signal reçu sont détectées par présomption par la résolution d'équations linéaires simultanées à N inconnues qui sont obtenues à l'aide de l'ensemble des Wi et des composantes Xj de la fréquence du bruit, ces dernières étant elles-mêmes obtenues en effectuant une analyse de transformation TFD sur le bruit uniquement. Les inconnues consistent en l'ensemble des Xj.

Inventor: KOBAYASHI KAZUNORI
IPC: B60K23/04
Filed: 1998-01-13
Abstract: In a four-wheel drive vehicle, a rear differential includes an input shaft to which a driving force is transmitted from front wheels through a propeller shaft, a driven bevel gear mounted on the input shaft, a follower bevel gear mounted on a clutch drive shaft and meshed with the driven bevel gear, left and right electromagnetic clutches disposed between opposite ends of the clutch drive shaft and left and right output shafts. The maximum transmitted torque transmitted through the left and right electromagnetic clutches is controlled, so that it is decreased with an increase in vehicle speed detected by vehicle speed detecting means. Thus, the vehicle can avoid the maximum horsepower transmitted by the bevel gears and the electromagnetic clutches being increased with an increase in vehicle speed. Therefore, it is possible to ensure the durability of the bevel gears and the clutches, while providing a reduction in size of the bevel gears and the clutches.

IPC: H04B10/08
Filed: 1996-07-25
Abstract: Selon la présente invention, un système et un procédé permettent d'optimiser une configuration de réseau à fibres optiques notamment en ce qui concerne l'équilibre de la charge et la répartition des ressources au niveau des différents sites (102) du réseau. Pour réaliser cette optimisation, l'invention consiste à transformer en un graphe orienté de noeuds et d'arcs le réseau d'anneaux (100), les deux paramètres d'équilibrage de la charge et la répartition des ressources étant initialisés de façon à constituer des variables d'états pour un algorithme mathématique d'optimisation. Une fois la transformation effectuée, le procédé consiste à se servir du graphe orienté pour en dériver des équations descriptives linéaires. La répartition de la charge et la configuration des ressources au niveau des sites (102') du réseau font alors l'objet d'une optimisation dans le cadre de ces équations linéaires. Cette invention s'applique non seulement à la configuration des ressources et à la répartition de la charge dans des réseaux nouveaux, mais également à la prise en compte de nouvelles charges dans des réseaux existants. Le procédé consiste alors à obtenir une valeur de constante par la mise en équation d'une variable d'état correspondant à une configuration de ressource.

Title: Concentrated aqueous liquid detergent compositions
Inventor: REPINEC STEPHEN THOMAS JR
IPC: C11D17/00
Filed: 1996-09-17
Abstract: The present invention provides for concentrated, structured liquid detergent compositions in the form of lamellar surfactant droplets dispersed in an aqueous electrolytic continuous phase comprising a mixture of: a) from about 10 to 45 % by weight of surfactant; b) at least one detergent builder; c) from about 0.01 to about 5 % by weight of a deflocculating polymer composition containing polymer chains of the structure P-QR, wherein P represents a polymer chain segment of a hydrophilic polymer, and QR represents a hydrophobic end-cap group wherein R is an organic hydrophobic radical containing from about 4 to 28 carbon atoms, and Q is selected from the group consisting of O, S, SO, SO2, Si OR'R'', Si R'R'', CR'OH, CR'R'' and CR'OR'' wherein R' and R'' are each hydrogen, an alkyl group containing from 1 to 4 carbon atoms or an aryl group; and d) water. The presence of the deflocculating polymer in the composition both stabilizes the detergent composition and retards the propensity of the lamellar droplets dispersed in the aueous phase to flocculate, particularly where the droplets occupy a higher volume ratio as the result of high concentrations of surfactant present in the detergent. The invention also provides, when necessary, for the addition of a polymeric stabilizing agent to the liquid detergent composition comprised of a high molecular weight cross-linked polyacrylic acid compound for the purpose of maintaining the viscosity of the liquid detergent composition substantially constant when stored at room temperature for a period of at least four weeks.
